Welcome to an exhibition about poor textile artisans and their world of patterns. In the exhibition Roses in November, you will meet five impoverished craftspeople from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their stories tell of modest living conditions and hardship, but also of advanced craftsmanship and great creativity. Tradition meets the present in newly created wool textiles inspired by the historical artisans’ patterns and colours. Welcome in!
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many people in our country were very poor. One way to make a living was to craft various useful items that could be sold for a small income or exchanged for something else they needed. In this exhibition, you will get to know five such craftspeople, their textile works and their rich, often colourful world of patterns. Gran-Anna crocheted; Lunn-Anders and Blinda-Anna knitted; Maria i Stenbacken sewed patchwork quilts; and, last but not least, Vävar-Lars was known for his linen damask. You will also see newly created wool textiles by Lena Josefsson, inspired by the patterns and colours of these impoverished craftspeople.
Times and facts:
- Opening: Saturday 28 November at 14:00.
